We are glad that Francesco Sapio (SISSA, Trieste) will be joining our group as postdoc on October 1st in the framework of our FWF project in the 1000 Ideas Programme with title "MAthematical Modeling of BOne engineering" (MAMBOing). @Francesco, welcome!

Today Paolo Piovano starts collaborating with the Wolfgang Pauli Institute, Austria, where his FWF project in the 1000 Ideas Programme with title "MAthematical Modeling of BOne engineering" (MAMBOing) is now hosted!

Due to a change of affiliation, we had to postpone our hiring. The call for a postdoc position is now again open at the Wolfgang Pauli Institute! For more information please have a look at the job openings.

We invite you to participate to the workshop with title "Free Boundary Problems and Related Evolution Equations" hosted from February 21st to 25th 2022 at the Erwin Schrödinger International institute (ESI), Vienna and co-organized by Giovanni Belettini , Shokhrukh Kholmatov and Paolo Piovano . Please, visit the website for information on how to register!

Today the Minisymposium with title "Textures, interfaces, and defects in crystalline and magnetic materials: the variational multiscale viewpoint" co-organized by Paolo Piovano, Francesco Solombrino and Bianca Stroffolini at the SIAM Conference MS20+1 is starting! There will be 19 talks in 5 afternoon sessions. Looking forward to see you there (online)!

Today Paolo Piovano starts a tenure-track assistant professorship at the Department of Mathematics of the Polytechnic University of Milan (PoliMi), Italy ("Ricercatore TD-b" accordingly to the job Italian nomenclature).

Today our WWTF project with title "Modelling and Design of Epitaxially Strained Nanoislands" in the framework of "Mathematics and ..." program unfortunately ends a bit before the expected time because of a change of affiliation. It has been an intense and productive journey. Ulrike and Paolo thanks WWTF for the grant support and their great professionalism!

Today Paolo Piovano was granted the status of "Senior Research Fellow" at the University of Vienna.

The workshop organized at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan with title "Surface patterns and instabilities: From (bio)mechanics to mathematics and viceversa" co-organized by Patrick Dondl, Irene Fonseca, and Paolo Piovano is at the moment unfortunately cancelled because of the pandemic and OIST budget time restrictions. We will keep you updated of any news in this regard!

Today Paolo Piovano starts a visiting professorship at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan in the framework of the "OIST Visiting Professor in Pure Mathematics". The visit will start remotely due to the pandemic, and include the support for the organization of an OIST mini-symposium with title "Surface patterns and instabilities: From (bio)mechanics to mathematics and viceversa" co-organized by Patrick Dondl, Irene Fonseca, and Paolo Piovano.

Current opening available for a postdoc position! For more information please have a look at the job openings.

Today Shohruh Kholmatov was awarded a Stand Alone project from the Austrian Research Fund (FWF) with title "Curvature-driven geometric evolution problems". This is a great achievement Shohruh, congratulations! We are also very happy that you chose to remain part of the group! :)

Ulrike Diebold and Paolo Piovano were invited to present the MODENA project at the online event "Die Stunde der Philantropie", which included the contributions from the President of Austria Dr. Alexander Van der Bellen and the WWTF president Dr. Michael Häupl, and was organized by UniCredit Bank Austria, WWTF, and Verband für gemeinnütziges Stiften. Here it is the link to the presentation in german!

Today Paolo Piovano was awarded as principal investigator one of the grants in the new call from the Austrian Research Fund (FWF) 1000 Ideas Programme with title MAthematical Modeling of BOne engineering (MAMBOing)! A new postdoc call in the framework of this project is therefore planned.

Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related travel restrictions, the current impossibility of hosting a conference at the University of Vienna, and the upcoming deadline for using the fundings the workshop with title Free Boundary Problems and related Evolution Equations , co-organized by Giovanni Bellettini, Shohruh Kholmatov, and Paolo Piovano for September 7-9, 2020 is cancelled. We applied for further funding, which is currenttly under evaluation. We will keep you updated! Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe!

Today Randy Llerena was awarded funding under the LMH "Visibility Junior" program from the Fondation Mathématiques Jacques Hadamard . Well done Randy!

Today Paolo Piovano from the austrian side and Igor Velčić from the croatian side have been awarded as co-principal investigators one of the WTZ grants in the framework of the Scientific & Technological Cooperation between Austria and Croatia from the Austrian Agency for International Cooperation in Education and Research (OeAD) for the project with title "Variational Multiscale Models for Materials"! Looking forward the visits!

Tomorrow the ESI Joint Mathematics-Physics Symposium with title "Modeling of Crystalline Interfaces and Thin Film Structures" hosted at the Erwin Schrödinger International institute (ESI) and co-organized by Irene Fonseca , Ulrike Diebold and Paolo Piovano will start! Everybody is welcomed!

Today the Minisymposium with title "Multiscale methods in materials science" co-organized by Elisa Davoli and Paolo Piovano at the SIAM Conference MS20 has been accepted with the code MS37! Looking forward to it!
